I've had stuff judged before and I never got the impression it'd actually been really read through and analysed. Mirthcard gives his opinion and backs it up. Thanks for that. I'm glad you liked it -- and, I'm really sorry, but there wasn't an ending; that was all there was to it. My paltry brain didn't bother to see the story further than the punchline. Glad you liked the style though.

I actually have taken my judging cues from nemmerle in the Iron DM competitions and our very own arwink her in the ceramic DM, both of whom I think have offered really insightful criticism in the past, so I'm glad you took it in the way that I intended. Also, I wasn't expecting an ending, Thimble, I just WANTED one

My thanks to Mirthcard for his expository - it helps me a lot to have such a detailed critique of my submission. Helps me to identify the points I need to work on as a writer, which I need.

Mirthcard - I really had intended to submit an adventure instead of a narrative. Sounds like I should have gone with my gut on that decision... *sighs* When will I learn to trust my feelings? A Jedi, I am not. In any case, look for a rewrite of my submission in adventure form - I'll post it to the board sometime this week.

Sounds good, DE. I look forward to seeing it. Don't underestimate the scenario. For the first two Ceramic DMs I wrote almost strictly scenarios vs. everyone else's fiction and it served me pretty well. Check my sig if you want to see the judge in action.
